Facial hair is something that has, since time immemorial, always been associated with masculinity. Growing a beard isn't just an act of personal grooming; it's also seen by most people as one of the key traits by which men are distinguished from women. Although there are many shapes and styles for the beard, all men want to accelerate the hair growth process in order to get faster results.

It is best when you know small facts like the fact that your facial hair will go through three phases of growth until it gets fuller. The first phase is when your hair starts growing from the hair follicles which you have had all your life. The second phase is when the hair becomes longer and this is when you will notice that it starts growing from under the skin as well. The final phase of growth is when the hair follicles become thicker and fuller so that the beard actually looks like a real one.

What are some ways to grow a full beard faster?

Beard length is determined by two things: genetics and proper beard care. There is a lot of content out there to help care for your beard, and on this website, you can inform yourself thoroughly and concisely on the topic. That said, beard growth rates depend on a number of factors, from hormones to what you eat. In most cases, the only way to achieve a full beard faster is to prevent hair loss so that new hair can stay in the follicle longer.

Some ways to preserve your beard include: getting enough sleep, washing your face regularly, and exfoliating.

A healthy beard includes a combination of long and short hair, so it's important to keep it clean. Shampooing regularly will help you grow out the bottom parts of your beard because dirt can get stuck there. You should also wash under your beard daily with soap to prevent dandruff.

Exfoliating will help your beard grow faster because it clears out dead skin cells from the follicles. You can either use a washcloth or scrub with your fingertips to rub away the dead skin cells. A gentle facial cleanser works as well as you rub your beard in small circles all over the face and neck.

Start slow and steady with these products to see the best results:

Minoxidil -   This topical medication is used for hair loss, but it can help you grow facial hair. It's available over the counter as Rogaine; however, this product isn't FDA approved for use on facial hair. It takes time to build up to the optimal amount that will help you grow a full beard.

Progesterone -   This hormone is found in both men and women, but men have higher levels of it. It can slow hair growth on your head, but studies show that it can be used to increase facial hair thickness if taken over time. Many people who are trying to grow a full beard take progesterone cream daily.

Pumpkin Seed Oil -   This oil is rich in zinc, vitamin E, and omega 3 fatty acids. Research shows that pumpkin seeds can help you produce more testosterone, which will result in thicker facial hair growth. Try adding this oil to your daily conditioning routine by putting one drop in your hand and rubbing it in your palms. Then apply to the hair roots on your face.

How long does it take to grow a beard?

The short answer: About three weeks. Yes, that's right—though it may seem like you haven't seen any progress in what feels like forever (you've been at this for months and still don't have a beard!), your new whiskers are growing approximately half an inch per month. If you do the math, that means it takes about three whole months to grow a full beard, though in some cases it can take longer.

So how do you speed up the process? First off, shave any area of your face where whiskers are already growing (the entire beard-in-progress region plus about half an inch in every direction). Then apply minoxidil twice a day to areas that have not yet been exposed to beard-growing hormones. Note: If you're already using minoxidil to grow a beard, apply it as usual—there's no need to do anything special or different with the extra half-inch of skin surrounding your facial hair.

In addition, be patient and don't expect miracles. Even if you do everything right, it will still take about three months before you see the full results of your efforts.

Growing a full beard is a huge transformation that takes months and years of patience. In order to minimize the time, one should avoid stress as much as possible, maintain a healthy diet with organic food, drink plenty of water and get enough sleep. There are a number of steps a man can do every day in order to speed up the process. Finally, one should always have patience and not get discouraged if they feel like their beard is taking too long to grow.
